The term “solid form” is often used to refer to a class or type of solid-state material. One kind of solid form is a “polymorph” which refers to two or more compounds having the same chemical formula but differing in solid-state structure. Salts may be polymorphic. When polymorphs are elements, they are termed allotropes. Carbon possesses the well-known allotropes of graphite, diamond, and buckminsterfullerene. Polymorphs of molecular compounds, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”), are often prepared and studied in order to identify compounds meeting scientific or commercial needs including, but not limited to, improved solubility, dissolution rate, hygroscopicity, and stability.

Other solid forms include solvates and hydrates of compounds including salts. A solvate is a compound wherein a solvent molecule is present in the crystal structure together with another compound, such as an API. When the solvent is water, the solvent is termed a hydrate. Solvates and hydrates may be stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric. A monohydrate is the term used when there is one water molecule, stoichiometrically, with respect to, for example, an API, in the unit cell.

In order to identify the presence of a particular solid form, one of ordinary skill typically uses a suitable analytical technique to collect data on the form for analysis. For example, chemical identity of solid forms can often be determined with solution-state techniques such as ¹³C-NMR or ¹H-NMR spectroscopy and such techniques may also be valuable in determining the stoichiometry and presence of “guests” such as water or solvent in a hydrate or solvate, respectively. These spectroscopic techniques may also be used to distinguish, for example, solid forms without water or solvent in the unit cell (often referred to as “anhydrates”), from hydrates or solvates.

Solution-state analytical techniques do not provide information about the solid state as a substance and thus, for example, solid-state techniques may be used to distinguish among solid forms such as anhydrates. Examples of solid-state techniques which may be used to analyze and characterize solid forms, including anhydrates and hydrates, include single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction (“XRPD”), solid-state ¹³C-NMR, Infrared (“IR”) spectroscopy, including Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal techniques such as Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC), melting point, and hot stage microscopy.

Polymorphs are a subset of crystalline forms that share the same chemical structure but differ in how the molecules are packed in a solid. When attempting to distinguish polymorphs based on analytical data, one looks for data which characterize the form. For example, when there are two polymorphs of a compound (e.g., Form I and Form II), one can use X-ray powder diffraction peaks to characterize the forms when one finds a peak in a Form I pattern at angles where no such peak is present in the Form II pattern. In such a case, that single peak for Form I distinguishes it from Form II and may further act to characterize Form I. When more forms are present, then the same analysis is also done for the other polymorphs. Thus, to characterize Form I against the other polymorphs, one would look for peaks in Form I at angles where such peaks are not present in the X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the other polymorphs. The collection of peaks, or indeed a single peak, which distinguishes Form I from the other known polymorphs is a collection of peaks which may be used to characterize Form I. If, for example, two peaks characterize a polymorph then those two peaks can be used to identify the presence of that polymorph and hence characterize the polymorph. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that there are often multiple ways, including multiple ways using the same analytical technique, to characterize polymorphic polymorphs. For example, one may find that three X-ray powder diffraction peaks characterize a polymorph. Additional peaks could also be used, but are not necessary, to characterize the polymorph up to and including an entire diffraction pattern. Although all the peaks within an entire diffractogram may be used to characterize a crystalline form, one may instead, and typically does as disclosed herein, use a subset of that data to characterize such a crystalline form depending on the circumstances.

For example, as used herein, “characteristic peaks” are a subset of observed peaks and are used to differentiate one crystalline polymorph from another crystalline polymorph. Characteristic peaks are determined by evaluating which observed peaks, if any, are present in one crystalline polymorph of a compound against all other known crystalline polymorphs of that compound to within ±0.2° 2Θ.

When analyzing data to distinguish an anhydrate from a hydrate, for example, one can rely on the fact that the two solid forms have different chemical structures—one having water in the unit cell and the other not. Thus, this feature alone may be used to distinguish the forms of the compound and it may not be necessary to identify peaks in the anhydrate, for example, which are not present in the hydrate or vice versa.

X-ray powder diffraction patterns are some of the most commonly used solid-state analytical techniques used to characterize solid forms. An X-ray powder diffraction pattern is an x-y graph with the diffraction angle, 2Θ (°), on the x-axis and intensity on the y-axis. The peaks within this plot may be used to characterize a crystalline solid form. The data is often represented by the position of the peaks on the x-axis rather than the intensity of peaks on the y-axis because peak intensity can be particularly sensitive to sample orientation (see Pharmaceutical Analysis, Lee & Web, pp. 255-257 (2003)). Thus, intensity is not typically used by those skilled in the art to characterize solid forms.

As with any data measurement, there is variability in X-ray powder diffraction data. In addition to the variability in peak intensity, there is also variability in the position of peaks on the x-axis. This variability can, however, typically be accounted for when reporting the positions of peaks for purposes of characterization. Such variability in the position of peaks along the x-axis derives from several sources. One comes from sample preparation. Samples of the same crystalline material, prepared under different conditions may yield slightly different diffractograms. Factors such as particle size, moisture content, solvent content, and orientation may all affect how a sample diffracts X-rays. Another source of variability comes from instrument parameters. Different X-ray instruments operate using different parameters and these may lead to slightly different diffraction patterns from the same crystalline solid form. Likewise, different software packages process X-ray data differently and this also leads to variability. These and other sources of variability are known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts.

Due to such sources of variability, it is common to recite X-ray diffraction peaks using the word “about” prior to the peak value in degrees (2 Θ) (sometimes expressed herein as “2 Θ-reflections (°)”), which presents the data to within 0.1 or 0.2° (2 Θ) of the stated peak value depending on the circumstances. The X-ray powder diffraction data corresponding to the solid forms of the present invention were collected on instruments which were routinely calibrated and operated by skilled scientists. In the present invention, XRPD values may be obtained using Cu Ka X-ray radiation according to the method described in Example 1. Accordingly, the variability associated with these data would be expected to be closer to ±0.1° 2 Θ than to +0.2° 2Θ and indeed likely less than 0.1 with the instruments used herein. However, to take into account that instruments used elsewhere by those of ordinary skill in the art may not be so maintained, for example, all X-ray powder diffraction peaks cited herein have been reported with a variability on the order of ±0.2° 2 Θ and are intended to be reported with such a variability whenever disclosed herein and are reported in the specification to one significant figure after the decimal even though analytical output may suggest higher precision on its face.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction provides three-dimensional structural information about the positions of atoms and bonds in a crystal. It is not always possible or feasible, however, to obtain such a structure from a crystal, due to, for example, insufficient crystal size or difficulty in preparing crystals of sufficient quality for single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

X-ray powder diffraction data may also be used, in some circumstances, to determine the crystallographic unit cell of the crystalline structure. The method by which this is done is called “indexing.” Indexing is the process of determining the size and shape of the crystallographic unit cell consistent with the peak positions in a suitable X-ray powder diffraction pattern. Indexing provides solutions for the three unit cell lengths (a, b, c), three unit cell angles (a, 13, y), and three Miller index labels (h, k, I) for each peak. The lengths are typically reported in Angstrom units and the angles in degree units. The Miller index labels are unitless integers. Successful indexing indicates that the sample is composed of one crystalline phase and is therefore not a mixture of crystalline phases.

IR spectroscopy, particularly FT-IR, is another technique that may be used to characterize solid forms together with or separately from X-ray powder diffraction. In an IR spectrum, absorbed light is plotted on the x-axis of a graph in the units of “wavenumber” (cm⁻¹), with intensity on the y-axis. Variation in the position of IR peaks also exists and may be due to sample conditions as well as data collection and processing. The typical variability in IR spectra reported herein is on the order of plus or minus 2.0 cm⁻¹. Thus, the use of the word “about” when referencing IR peaks is meant to include this variability and all IR peaks disclosed herein are intended to be reported with such variability.

Thermal methods are another typical technique to characterize solid forms. Different polymorphs of the same compound often melt at different temperatures. Thus, the melting point of a polymorph, as measured by methods such as capillary melting point, DSC, and hot stage microscopy, alone or in combination with techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, IR spectroscopy, including FT-IR, or both, may be used to characterize polymorphs or other solid forms. Cycling DSC can also be conducted to determine if any particular form converts to a new or existing form. In one aspect, the cycling DSC may show conversion to the most thermally stable form.

As with any analytical technique, melting point determinations are also subject to variability. Common sources of variability, in addition to instrumental variability, are due to colligative properties such as the presence of other solid forms or other impurities within a sample whose melting point is being measured.

Example 2—Free Base Forms

Method of Analysis

X-Ray Powder Diffraction

XRPD patterns were obtained with a PANalytical X'Pert PRO MPD diffractometer using an incident beam of Cu radiation (1.54059 angstroms) produced using an Optix long, fine-focus source. The diffractometer was configured using the symmetric Bragg-Brentano geometry. Prior to analysis, a silicon sample (NIST SRM 640e) was analyzed to verify the observed position of the Si 111 peak was consistent with the NIST-certified position. A specimen of the sample was prepared as a thin, circular layer centered ona silicon zero-background substrate. Antiscatter slits (SS) were used to minimize the background generated by air. Soller slits for the incident and diffracted beams were used to minimize broadening fro axial divergence. Diffraction patterns were collected using a scanning position-sensitive detector located 240 mm from the sample.

Proton NMR Spectroscopy

Proton NMR Spectroscopy was performed by acquiring solution NMR spectra with an Agilent DD2-400 spectrometer. Samples were prepared by dissolving a given amount of sample in DMSO-d₆ containing tetramethylsilane (TMS).

Differential Scanning Calorimetry

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was performed with a TA Instruments 2920 or Q200 differential scanning calorimeter. Temperature calibration was performed using a NIST-traceable indium metal. The sample was placed into an aluminum Tzero crimped pan and the weight was accurately recorded. A weighed aluminum pan configured as the sample pan was placed on the reference side of the cell.

Thermal Gravimetric Analysis

Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was performed using a TA Instruments Discovery thermographic analyzer, with temperature calibration being performed using nickel and Alumel™. Each sample was placed in a pan, hermetically sealed, the lid pierced, and then inserted into the thermal gravimetric furnace which was heated under nitrogen.

Dynamic Vapor Sorption/Desorption (DVS)

Dynamic Vapor Sorption/Desorption (DVS) data was collected on a VTI SGA-100 Vapor Sorption Analyzer, using NaCl and PVP as calibration standards. Samples were not dried prior to analysis. Sorption and desorption data were collected over a range from 5% to 95% relative humidity (RH) at 10% RH increments under a nitrogen purge. The equilibrium criterion used for analysis was less than 0.01000% weight change in 5 minutes with a maximum equilibration time of 3 hours. Data were not corrected for the initial moisture content of the samples.

Polymorphs of Compound (I) Free Base

The crystalline polymorph corresponding to Form 1 of the Compound (I) free base was prepared from three samples (Samples 1-3). Sample 1 containing Form 1 was obtained by the synthetic method described in Example 1 above, and the XRPD spectrum for this Sample 1 is shown in FIG. 1A. Sample 2 containing Form 1 was obtained from a heptane slurry of Sample 1, and the XRPD spectrum for this Sample 2 is shown in FIG. 1B. Sample 3 containing Form 1 was obtained from a THF slow cool process of Sample 1, and the XRPD spectrum for this Sample 3 is shown in FIG. 1C.

FIG. 2 shows a comparison of the three XRPD spectra (FIGS. 1A-1C) obtained for Samples 1-3 of Form 1, and shows that the XRPD spectra exhibit the same crystalline form, albeit with slight variations in peak locations. In particular, the crystalline forms can be understood to have a flexible crystal framework that may slightly expand or contract with changes in, for example, temperature and pressure, such that the 20 values of the characteristic peaks in an XRPD spectrum for Form 1 may vary by slightly between individual spectra. Peaks shown in FIGS. 1A-1C are listed in Table 1, with prominent peaks listed in Table 2.

TABLE 1 Form 1 XRPD Peaks 2Θ value Intensity (cts) 7 16,000 11 15,000 12 19,000 15 21,000 17 10,000 20 12,000 22 45,000

TABLE 2 Prominent XRPD Peaks—Form 1 2Θ value Intensity (cts) 7 16,000 11 15,000 12 19,000 15 21,000 22 45,000

FIGS. 1A-1C further list the indexing information for Form 1 as obtained from each of the XRPD spectra, including the size and shape of the crystallographic unit cell as determined according to the peak positions in the diffraction pattern. Indexing of Form 1 from the XRPD spectra in FIGS. 1A-1C yielded the potential for an additional free volume of approximately 45 Å³ per formula unit for the Sample 1, as shown in FIG. 1A, which could theoretically accommodate 2 moles of water per mole of the compound. Sample 3 yielded a free crystal volume of approximately 59 Å³, whereas Sample 2 had a free crystal volume somewhere in between Sample 1 (i.e., in a contracted state) and Sample 3 (i.e., in an expanded state). Thus, Form 1 is believed to have a crystal framework that exists in a slightly expanded and contracted state, where the crystal form exhibits minor unit cell changes as a function of temperature, pressure, and composition, but nonetheless corresponds to the same crystal form.

The ¹H NMR spectrum for Form 1 is shown in FIG. 3A, and the chemical shifts are listed in FIG. 3B. This ¹H NMR spectrum is consistent with the chemical structure of Compound (I), with the chemical shifts at 2.5 ppm and 3.3 ppm assigned to residual NMR solvent protons, DMSO and water, respectively.

The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve for Form 1 is shown in FIG. 4B. The differential scanning curve exhibited a single endotherm starting at about 201° C. (i.e., temperature of endotherm onset), and a melting peak at approximately 202.7° C. (i.e., in a range of from approximately 200° C. to 203° C.). The thermogram obtained for the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of Form 1 is shown in FIG. 4A. Negligible weight loss up to 200° C. of about 0.20% or less was observed.

FIG. 5 illustrates a dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) isotherm of Form 1, indicating negligible weight gain in each sorption cycle and no hysteresis upon desorption, thus demonstrating that Form 1 is not hygroscopic. In particular, the isotherm for Form 1 exhibited a weight percent change of about 0.31 wt % or less (0.309 wt %) up to a percent relative humidity of about 95% (94.79%). Furthermore, evaluation of the sample after DVS testing via XRPD analysis showed the sample maintained crystal peaks corresponding to those identified as being characteristic of Form 1, indicating that a phase change did not occur with the exposure to humidity in the DVS testing. Also, the XRPD spectrum of a sample of Form 1 exposed to 93% relative humidity for four days at ambient temperature did not result in any changes in form observable by XRPD. This data indicated that Form 1 was physically stable at elevated humidity. Furthermore, the thermal and DVS data showed that Form 1 is a substantially anhydrous form, even though the crystal structure of Form 1 is theoretically capable of accommodating a plurality of molar equivalents of water, as determined by indexing of the XRPD data.

Furthermore, while solvated and/or hydrated forms of Compound (I) can be prepared, as discussed in further detail below, these forms may tend to show conversion to Form 1, such as upon heating of the Forms to a temperature of 180° C. or more.

Hydrate Form

A crystalline polymorph hydrate form corresponding to Compound (I) was prepared by using a 50:50 acetone/water slurry, and is referred to herein as Form 3. The XRPD spectrum for Form 3 is shown in FIG. 6. Form 3 was shown to dehydrate to Form 1 when exposed to elevated temperatures above 180° C. The XRPD data was of sufficient quality to be indexed, indicating that the material is primarily a single crystalline phase, as shown in FIG. 6. Form 3 has a larger estimate volume per formula unit than would be expected for an anhydrous form, and the additional free volume can theoretically accommodate approximately 0.8 to 1.3 moles of water per mole of Compound (I). Also, similarly to Form 1, the XRPD peak positions may appear slightly shifter with minor unit-cell changes. Peaks shown in FIG. 6 are listed in Table 3, with prominent peaks listed in Table 4.

TABLE 3 Form 3 XRPD Peaks—Hydrate 2Θ value Intensity (cts) 5 4,500 6 15,500 9 7,000 14 10,000 17 6,000 21 8,000 24 14,000 27 5,000

FIG. 6 further list the indexing information for Form 3 as obtained the XRPD spectra, including the size and shape of the crystallographic unit cell as determined according to the peak positions in the diffraction pattern.

FIG. 7 shows the results of a cycling DSC experiment, in which Form 3 was heated to 180° C., past the desolvation endotherm, and held isothermally for one minute before cooling back down and repeating the DSC analysis. An initial melt endotherm for the Form 3 crystalline free base of Compound I has an onset at temperature of approximately 150° C., with a melting peak at approximately 178° C. Cycling DSC further shows a melt endotherm having an onset at about 196° C., with a melting peak at approximately 200.2° C. (i.e., in the range of approximately 200° C. to 203° C.), and the cycling DSC appears to show that the phase change from desolvation was not reversible. Additional physical stability information suggest that the final melt endotherm, although consisting of multiple overlapping events, is that of Form 1, consistent with Form 3 dehydrating to Form 1 when exposed to elevated temperatures.

Solvate Forms

Crystalline polymorph solvate forms of Compound (I) were prepared, by using solvent/antisolvent from DCM/ACN (Form 7), cooling from acetone (Form 10), and using a slurry in DCM (Form 14). A further polymorph form (Form 4) was generated through the desolvation of Form 7 from acetonitrile (e.g., exposure to 65° C. under vacuum for 1 day). The Forms 7, 10 and 14 correspond to a family of isotructural solvates, and Form 4 is believed to be unsolvated/anhydrous. Solvates were also generated from THF, methanol, ethanol and 1,4-dioxane.

Referring to FIG. 8, a cycling DSC experiment is shown that illustrates the relationship between Form 4 (generated from desolvation of an isostructural solvate) and Form 1 discussed above. In the experiment, the material was heated to 150° C., and held isothermally for one minute before cooling back down and repeating the DSC analysis. The Form 4 that is the desolvated form of the isostructural solvates (Forms 7, 10 and 14) has a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogram with an endotherm having an onset temperature of approximately 128° C., and having a melting peak at approximately 130° C. A subsequent melt endotherm is exhibited in cycling DSC with an onset at approximately 199° C., and having a melting peak at approximately 201.0° C. (i.e., in a range of from approximately 200° C. to 203° C.). Additional physical stability information suggests that an initial endo/exotherm event is conversion to another material, and that the small exotherm and final melt endotherm is conversion to and melt of Form 1 described above. This data is consistent with complete conversion to Form 1 from any of the family of isostructural solvates (Forms 7, 10 and 14), or a material generated by desolvation of these isostructural solvates (e.g. Form 4), with exposure to elevated temperatures above 180° C.

FIG. 9 shows the XRPD spectra for the family of isostructural solvates corresponding to Form 7 (top), Form 10 (middle) and Form 14 (bottom). The XRPD patterns for Forms 7, 10 and 14 were successfully indexed, indicating that the materials were primarily a single crystalline phase. The indexing results had a larger estimated volume per formula unit than expected for an anhydrous form of Compound (I). Form 7 is believed to be an acetonitrile solvate, and indexing results indicates that the free volume could theoretically accommodate approximately 1.75 moles of acetonitrile per mole of Compound I. Form 10 is believed to be an acetone solvate, and indexing results indicates that the free volume could theoretically accommodate approximately 1.5 moles of acetone per mole of Compound I. Form 14 is believed to be a DCM (dichloro methane) solvate, and indexing results indicates that the free volume could theoretically accommodate approximately 1.5 moles of DCM per mole of Compound I. Overlaying peaks shown in FIG. 9 for the family of isostructural solvates are listed in Table 5, with prominent peaks listed in Table 6.

The top XRPD spectrum in FIG. 10 corresponds to a disordered (amorphous) material prepared by precipitation from water with the sequential addition of HCl and NaOH. The bottom XRPD spectrum in FIG. 10 corresponds to the same disordered material, following exposure to 65° C. and vacuum overnight. Table 7 below lists peaks shown for the disordered materials.

The plate was loaded inot the PANalytical X′Pert PRO running in transmission mode and analyzed, using a step size of 0.0130° 2Θ, continuous scanning, a divergence slit size of 1.0000°, measurement temperature of 25.00° C., and Cu anode material.

Proton NMR Spectroscopy

Proton NMR Spectroscopy experiments were performed on a Bruker AV500 (frequency: 500 MHz). Experiments were performed in deuterated DMSO and each sample was prepared to about 10 mM concentration.

Hydrochloride Salt Form

A crystalline hydrochloride salt form of Compound I was prepared by placing 300 mg of the free base of Compound I, as prepared by the synthetic method of Example 1, in a 20 mL vial, and dissolving in 4.5 mL of dichloromethane (DCM). Hydrochloric acid was diluted in 1.5 mL DCM and added as a solution, to provide one equivalent of counterion to the solution containing the Compound I. The mixture was then temperature cycled between ambient temperature (˜22° C.) and 40° C. in 4 hour cycles for ˜72 hours. The sample was left to evaporate ˜¼ of its volume and stored at 5° C. for ˜24 hours, after which the solid material obtained by salt formation was isolated by filtration using a Millipore 0.45 μm filter membrane, dried under vacuum for ˜45 minutes, and analyzed by XRPD and NMR.

FIG. 11 shows the NMR spectrum for the resulting hydrochloride salt. The NMR spectrum showed shifts in signal positions at 5.65 ppm, 4.38 ppm, 3.14 ppm, 2.32 ppm and 1.86 ppm, indicating salt formation. Distinct, well-defined and birefringent columns and prisms were observed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), and the hydrochloride salt was found to be 97.2% pure by High Performance Liquid Chromatography.

A crystalline maleate salt form of Compound I was prepared by placing 300 mg of the free base of Compound I, as prepared by the synthetic method of Example 1, in a 20 mL vial, and dissolving in 4.5 mL of dichloromethane (DCM). Maleic acid was added thereto as a slurry in 1.5 mL of DCM, to provide one equivalent of counterion to the solution containing the Compound I. The mixture was then temperature cycled between ambient temperature (˜22° C.) and 40° C. in 4 hour cycles for ˜72 hours. Solid material obtained by salt formation was isolated by filtration using a Millipore 0.45 μm filter membrane, dried under vacuum for ˜45 minutes, and analyzed by XRPD and NMR.

FIG. 13 shows the NMR spectrum for the resulting maleate salt. The NMR spectrum showed shifts in signal positions at 3.48 ppm, 2.40 ppm, 2.31 ppm, and 1.85 ppm, indicating salt formation. Birefringent needles and laths were obtained, and the maleate salt was found to be 97.7% pure by High Performance Liquid Chromatography.
